The 1917 Cutlass Sword – A Different Kind of Sword

What sets apart the 1917 cutlass sword from the other sabers within its class was the fact that it blade was much broader compared to the usual blade width of sabers or military swords. These types of swords were much easier to wield in battle because it took little training in order for one to learn how to use them. More importantly, the Cutlass became very popular because it was linked with pirates because it was often the sailor’s weapon of choice for easy rope and wood cutting on sea.

This particular sword is the perfect replica of the 1917 Cutlass Sword. It is made with the same quality of strength and cutting power as its original way back in the day, except this time it is made with more durable carbon steel and its handles are made of hardwood. It also comes with a leather scabbard made of high quality leather and designed with copper fixtures.

This is one of the swords in the personal collection of Lynn C. Thompson, the president of Cold Steel. If you want to have an edge over the others with your Military swords collection, then you will definitely want to have one of these.
